Pivotal 1 Study of ABBV-RGX-314 (Also Known as RGX-314) Gene Therapy Administered Via Subretinal Delivery One Time in Participants With nAMD
A Randomized, Partially Masked, Controlled, Phase 2b/3 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of RGX-314 Gene Therapy in Participants With nAMD (ATMOSPHERE)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
ABBV-RGX-314 (also known as RGX-314) is being developed as a novel one-time gene therapy for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD or nAMD). Wet AMD is characterized by loss of vision due to new, leaky blood vessel formation in the retina. Wet AMD is a significant cause of vision loss in the United States, Europe and Japan, with up to 2 million people living with wet AMD in these geographies alone. Current anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapies have significantly changed the landscape for treatment of wet AMD, becoming the standard of care due to their ability to maintain or prevent progression of vision loss in the majority of patients. These therapies, however, require life-long intraocular injections, typically repeated every 4 to 16 weeks in frequency, to maintain efficacy. Due to the burden of these treatments, patients often experience a decline in vision with reduced frequency of treatment over time.

Prior treatment
- History of intraocular surgery in the study eye within 12 weeks prior to randomization
- History of intravitreal therapy in the study eye, such as intravitreal steroid injection or investigational product, other than anti-VEGF therapy, in the 6 months prior to Screening Visit 1
- Prior treatment with gene therapy
- History of intraocular surgery in either eye within 12 weeks prior to randomization (Week -2)
- History of intravitreal therapy in either eye, such as intravitreal steroid injection or investigational product, other than anti-VEGF therapy, in the 6 months prior to screening
- Prior treatment with gene therapy (\*) For previously treated crossover participants, criteria apply to the eye not treated in the main study only.
Other illness
- Any condition in the investigator's opinion that could limit VA improvement in the study eye
- Active or history of retinal detachment, or current retinal tear that cannot be treated, in the study eye

- Any condition in the investigator's opinion that could limit VA improvement in either eye
- Active or history of retinal detachment, or current retinal tear that cannot be treated in either eye
- Advanced glaucoma or history of secondary glaucoma in either eye
- Myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, or transient ischemic attack within the past 6 months
Other
